In this chapter we present the Scribe compiler that compiles Scribe
source text into various output formats. Scribe source files can
be automatically generated from Texinfo
source files by the scribeinfo compiler.
scribe [options] [input]...
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation
for the programming language Scribe can be found at the following
URL. This manual page only documents
the scribe
compiler that compiles Scribe programs into HTML,
TeX, Info or Nroff formats.
The scribe compiler uses file suffixes in order to select amongst
its possible targets which one to choose. These suffixes are:
- .scr
- a Scribe source file.
- .html
- an HTML target file.
- .tex
- a TeX target file.
- .info
- an Info target file.
- .man
- a Nroff target file.
- .sui
- a Scribe url index file.
- -h,--help

- --options
- Display the scribe options and exit.
- --version
- The version of Scribe.
- -v,--verbose
- Increase the verbosity.
- -q,--query
- Display informations about the Scribe configuration.
- -t,--target <fmt>
- The output target format.
- -b,--base <base>
- The base prefix to remove from links.
- -o <dst>
- Name the output file <dest>.
- -I <path>
- Add <path> to scribe path.
- -J <path>
- Add <path> to scribe style path.
- -L <path>
- Add <path> to scribe library path.
- -B <path>
- Add <path> to scribe bibliography path.
- -C,--split-chapter <chapter>
- Emit chapter's sections in separate files.
